Bridge
“Yes, Blaster, it is big. Dinobots only sent on big important missions. Lowdown, as you say, will be given once remaining team member arrives.
An amused, crooked smile wormed its way onto Blaster’s faceplate a little at that. “S’pose that’s true.”
“And the name is Grimlock, not Grimmy. But, you may call me Commander.”
Blaster nodded, waving a hand dismissively. Right, right. The chief communications officer wasn’t much for formality when it was personal, but he’d try to make the effort for the Dinobot Commander. “Roger that, chief,” Blaster replied, glancing back toward the doors of the bridge. Hm…where could their last member be? Maybe they got hung up on something.
The crimson mech’s thoughts wandered back to Optimus. He was just itching to make an announcement about the Prime’s return, but he wouldn’t until Magnus authorized it himself. He sighed a little inwardly. Thinking about it, Magnus would probably handle it himself when the time came. He could understand why the current supreme commander wanted it under wraps for the moment. The Cons might get antsy and wonder about Megatron, which was not something they needed while Optimus was recooperating.
“Where is Getaway? Him late.”
“Getaway, huh?” Blaster asked, looking to Grimlock, “I’ll call him. See what’s up.” As his gaze drifted away from Grimlock to do just that, he froze at the sight of an…unexpected face. What in Pit was Sky Lynx doing here of all things. The lieutenant commander’s words over the comms soon solved that mystery. Blaster sighed and rubbed his temples. Better get to calling Getaway. He transmitted nonverbally so as not to interrupt Grimlock’s communications with the irate dinobird.
>>”Hey, Getaway. You read me? What’s holdin’ you up? Grimmy’s getting’ kinda impatient. Better get over here ASAP, got it?”<<
>>”Well, well, Sky Lynx, me surprised to see you of all mechs chasing after us. Me not realize you at shipyards. Not remember seeing you there, especially when Decepticon saboteur caused havoc. Would’ve thought you’d be front and center for all that. Guess you sleeping on job or something, huh?”<<
>>”Now, listen here, you ruffian!”<< Sky Lynx interjected indignantly. However, before he could go on, Grimlock continued.
>>”What me say for self? Me say me using Trion to fight Decepticons here in Sol System. And me also say me can do whatever me want. Me, Grimlock! Me no have time for proper authorization. Takes too long. Ship needed here now and ship here now. Me do what necessary to achieve victory. So, go back to Cas Coller, tell Countdown Trion belong to Dinobots. We take care of her from here on out. Him not need worry about it any more. Now, if you don't mind, me have mission briefing to finish.”<<
>>”You uncouth rouge! Just you wait, lizard,”<< Sky Lynx hissed, >>”I will do no such thing! Argh! If you were out here, I’d give you such a battering!”<< The lieutenant commander stomped on the ship’s outer hull irately, but not hard enough to even dent the Trion. >>”We’ll just see what Optimus has to say about your tomfoolery, won’t we? I will see you again shortly, mark my words!”<<
With that, the very perturbed lieutenant commander leaped off – quite gracefully – into empty space, scanning the area for more Autobot ships. Optimus would be aboard one of them. It wasn’t long before he locked onto one and set his course for it.
